[Thunderbolt Android Development] Eguess74:
First day with Thunderbolt today and of course first thing first - root;)

here is the problem i have:

Windows 7 64 bit. downloaded the root and replaced adb driver with 64 bit version. USB debugging + charge only.

Now when I'm running first step it tells me that it connects successfully and quickly skips all pushing steps to the screen where it suggests to select the bootloader option and reboot. The problem is that there is no option to select anywhere on the phone...

i found that somebody had the same problem and suggestion was to wait for up to 15 min and then restart the step one again and wait again...

Waiting first 15 min...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
You don't need to wait. If your phone doesn't reboot it didn't work, plain and simple. You need to try without the 64bit files first, I'm pretty sure I said in the first post to only use them if you're having issues getting it to work. There's also a tip in the first post to turn off fastboot and redo step 1 so that's what I suggest you do, try with the 32bit files first (you're going to have to redownload the file if you deleted the rar, otherwise just re-extract) and fastboot off. Also make sure you're using the latest exe as the one in the rar is not the updated version.

As a note to everyone: I may be releasing an untested version of the program soon and I won't be able to test it. I know I said I was going to try to get a thunderbolt so I could develop and test better and faster but my electric company screwed up my bill and now if I don't pay them $450 by the 14th they're shutting it off which is why I won't be able to test, I'll be trying to scrounge money together. I hate to do this but if you have used my program and have not already done so please donate, I can't develop my program further with no power and I've answered the questions as they've been presented here so I'd appreciate it if you could help me back. If things somehow manage to work out and I don't get my power turned off I'll post here, and always if you donate you'll receive a thank you email from me.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Eguess74:
I went back to the 32bit. I had my fast boot unchecked and it still skips through the first step and doesn't reboot. I also had the latest rooter.exe from the first post.

It seems i will need to go through the manual process...
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
You really shouldn't give up so easily, it sometimes takes a few extra tries for the steps to process properly, but if you want to do it manually you're free to do so.

Edit: I am requesting this thread be locked until I can focus on it again. The programs will still be available for download and all questions have been answered. You are free to PM me with a question but if it has been answered I will tell you to search the thread more carefully. If you want this opened back up and work to continue and improvements to be made, see my last post.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew8806:
Locking thread on OP's request. OP please PM me when you want/need it unlocked.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
It's exactly the same method, "adb needed" and "no adb" just refer to i you need adb setup before you can use the program or not. they both use adb.

I'm on my way home should have the first file downloaded on my home server and will start uploading additional mirror then.

[Thunderbolt Android Development] dave0373:
I'm getting a "device not found" error on step 1. I don't think I have drivers installed. Anyone know where I might get the drivers?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
It tells you what you need in the first post. Do you have it in charge only mode with usb debugging on? if so google for the programs mentioned.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] 92slammer:
thank you soooooo much dbzfanatic for doing this and for your support....ive got root and in process of flashing clockworkmod recovery:D
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
glad i could help
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
If i'm using the no ADB do i still need to download the drivers or everything is included in the file ? .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
You might need the drivers if it doesn't show up. Again, the "no adb" just means it doesn't need to be setup beforehand. Some people need drivers some don't so I can't say.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] HolyGrail:
Jezus dbzfanatic, go to sleep already.......................Your going to turn into the walking dead. :eek:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
lol im already technically half dead (some freaky medical condition thingy) im trying to stem the tide here and help people out. if i don't who will?:P
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tampoonx2:
Yes, extract the no adb.zip file and run it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
I think i need the drivers because i install ADB and my PC installed some file to recognize the phone and there was a no drivers found at ADB , anyone have the link for the drivers ? oh ! and do i still need to download the android SDK ? .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
adb is part of the android sdk :/ when your file installed the driver itself was your phone in debug mode or normal? if it was debug you might be able to use it as-is
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dave0373:
Ok now I'm at the select bootloader option screen in step one but I'm not seeing anything to select.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
Ok gonna go for it now .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ckochinsky125:
Are you going to come up with this method for the newer firmware?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@dave Did your phone reboot? If not try the other version of the exe file

@jawonder good luck
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dave0373:
No it didn't reboot. I tried the other exe file and still no reboot.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
alright then setup adb and use the "need adb" version. There are posts all over this thread about adb and how to set it up.

Edit: guys im starting to get double-vision so im going to try to sleep. I'll be more than happy to help you guys out when i get back though. goodnight
[Epic 4G General] Leetahalfelven1974:
I have an unrooted stock Epic 2.2.1 with many UPDATE issues, but this issue started weeks after OTA came through, (for which I have do 2 hard resets that only brought out more issues.)

I have been having an issue with the sensor popping continously when using the touch screen and the tech replaced the chip card which helped for about 3 or 4 days.

Point of fact: the video camera had gone out too and he said they were on the same card. The new card fixed the camera permenantly.

I am searching for examples of similar issues on reputable sites like XDA to show his head tech who had never heard of it and thinks he knows everything. ;) Has anyone else had this problem? My phone is less than 2 months old. :( And I do not want a refurbished replacement from using my insurance!!!

So I wonder if this is a hardware issue or more of an update issue... any thouhghts?

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beryxil:
So I have tried several ROMs and I am curious why on some ROMs (Cognition) the rotary lockscreen will switch the phone to vibrate mode, but other ROMs switch it to silent. Is there a way to have the vibrate option on any ROM?

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgoben:
Not that I've seen. I've stuck with the rotary unlock for the reason you stated above.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
It is just the way the chef cooked up the rom. Im sure if you wanted one or the other you could edit the file.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beryxil:
You wouldn't happen to know which file to edit? ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surfed.tk:
I have my phone set to vibrate only in silent mode, so when i put it into silent via the lock-screen it vibrates....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
Its your vibrate settings. Like this person said. If you have vibrate set to always or only on silent then you cannot set it to Silent. You need to change you sound settings to never vibrate, or vibrate when not on silent.

Edit: Nevermind. That is the way the android lock screen behaves. No matter what I have my vibrate setting set for rotary lock screen always goes to silent mode, not vibrate mode.

I am running FireFly. Maybe if you post in the Q&A section for your ROM the Dev will see and explain. It must be something in the lock screen files.

The other option is the android lock screen. I never have understood the appeal to the rotary lock screen. Its almost the same as the android lock screen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beryxil:
I have found that it works on KB1 roms like Cognition and Fusion. But on the others it doesn't. Sadly I don't know what that means. :(
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psufan5:
Having an issue with ROMs where I take my phone off the charger and within a few minutes im down to 93% battery. 100-93 in several minutes is quite bad...

Ive tried to calibrate the battery by running it down then charging it backup etc, but it just keeps persisting. Anyone know how to fix this? Erasing battery stats did nothing also...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magneticzero:
have you tried power off the phone after it is full charged and bump charging it?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psufan5:
Ya but my phone turns on into CMW recovery each time i plug it in when its off.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diversion:
You should charge up to 100% and leave it trickle charging for about an hour.. then reboot into recovery and reset the battery stats in Clockwork Recovery.

If you're staying stock, I don't have any other options.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psufan5:
Im not stock, im running Viral.

How is simple mobile is heard after a gig of data they cancel you. Even though it says unlimited thinking of going to them. When I buy the G2X.
[myTouch 4G General] AlexFG:
Actually that's no longer true. I'm about to hit 2GB and my internet is still working just fine and they haven't throttle it down either. I've been trying to reach at least the 3gb mark before my billing cycle starts again in about a week from now but I don't use that much data, I'll do some tethering to see what happens.
[myTouch 4G General] sorbimil:
muchas gracias me sirvio para hd2 android exelente
[myTouch 4G General] jigajay:
one month they throttled me at a little over 1gb then the month after that they throttled me at 2gb.Something about how fast you use your web they say they have no cap but I guess if you use like 1gb in 2 weeks they figure you are teethering your phone which they don't allow but the thing is I didn't teether my phone at all and they slow you down to Edge I left right after I got capped 2 months in a row.Good luck with them I always had problems getting picture messages if the picture size was to big the pictures I did get was real tiny.

[Atrix 4G General] n4d3r:
I am using the Bell Atrix on Fido and timestamps show correctly on sent sms, however when i receive a msg, it is 4 hours behind. I know other android phones used to have this issue (evo 4g, etc) but I dont think anybody ever mentioned it for the Atrix. Similar issue anyone? if it is just me, then i can still exchange it.

Thanks
[Atrix 4G General] SpeeDemon:
A friend of mine had this exact same issue with a Bell Vibrant on the Rogers network. He ignored the issue and used a different SMS app, Handcent or something, and the problem never showed up again.
[Atrix 4G General] rajeshr:
There is an issue with Fido/Rogers (on non-Fido/Rogers branded phones) that shows this issue. Using a different SMS app will not fix the issue as this seems to be an issue with the Fido/Rogers network offsetting the time incorrectly - the Fido/Rogers branded phones have a fix built in.

To fix this on your Atrix, you need to install the app called SMS Time Fix. You can set the offset and it'll fix the timestamps for you.
[Atrix 4G General] -Roze-:
Wow, I didn't even notice this issue!!! But yeah...seeing it on my Atrix (with Rogers). Thanks for the solution :)
[Atrix 4G General] seven2099:
btw you will find that using the offset does not work as well as setting incoming messages by the time determined by the phone. :)

trust me, after using it for 3 different handsets, this is the best way to do it.
[Atrix 4G General] rukcus:
I fixed it by changing my time zone and setting my own clock rather than using network time.
[Atrix 4G General] rajeshr:
Wouldn't you get an incorrect time stamp in certain cases? i.e. This would set the timestamp of the SMS to the time received by your phone and not the network?

If your phone was turned off and someone sent you a SMS, when you turned the phone back on you would get the SMS timestamp to be the time you turned the phone one and not the actual time of receipt by the network.

I know my example is an edge case, but I'd rather use SMS Time Fix and get the real timestamp rather than the timestamp set by the phone.
[Atrix 4G General] -Roze-:
Yup that is what I did :) was playing around with the app until I got the right time on the sent message.
[Atrix 4G General] jackdonogy:
I had the same issue from the day i picked it up on launch day (unclocked on Fido). I used the SMS fix app off the market and works fine. But sometimes i accidentally close the app using app killer.

Ill try the clock fix mentioned above (custom clock vs network time).
[Atrix 4G General] androidfusion:
Which app are you using? Is there any options in the stock messaging program that let you offset the time stamp or do you need to use an outside app to do it?

i run linux at home but am by no means an expert, i was wondering if anyone has ever tried to incorperate dkms into android. it would be great to be able to change drivers in a kernel that is already on your phone. like voodoo sound. with new versions coming out all the time some kernel builders get the updates out faster than others, some kernels may work better on one phone or another but not include newest drivers supercurio is putting out.

would it be possible to make something like dkms compatable with android?

and if not where can i find information about compiling my own kernels for android?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
DKMS is generally used for things like VGA drivers.. tried and true technologies... Legacy stuff... In the mobile world, the hardware of today is not used tomorrow. There are Kernel Modules (KO) files, but they are not DKMS. DKMS is used more for generic building. KO files load slower then standard kernel files.

When building for a mobile platform you always want the latest, greatest kernel, all manditory functions included, all options made as modules, and all others excluded. DKMS is used when you reuse the same hardware or functions over and over again. DKMS is basically for legacy use. You build something once and never have to build it again.

I dont' think it will make it's way onto phones until it's practical.

I never use my keyboard and I was wondering if this case would be better since it makes the phone sturdier by securing the keyboard and maybe make it a little thinner.

Has anyone tried this case or one like it?
[Epic 4G Accessories] Kitteh298:
thats extraordinarily stupid.
[Epic 4G Accessories] lafronz:
The only thing stupid was your post. No call to be so rude in response to a simple question. If you dont use the keyboard I say go for it. I've never used one myself.

Looks cool....... I wish they had it in Black......
[Epic 4G Accessories] blahblah2000:
They have one in black: http://www.amazon.com/iNcido-Brand-...ES/ref=sr_1_36?ie=UTF8&qid=1301021620&sr=8-36.

In fact, I think the cheapest option is to get 5 of them lol: http://www.amazon.com/iNcido-Samsun...C8/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1301021593&sr=8-18

I'm still on the fence on this, but even if they suck, it's still less than $10 down the drain.
[Epic 4G Accessories] bitbang3r:
Unfortunately, having just bought one of the black cases above, I can say that it is absolutely, positively, NOT "one-piece". It's a standard 2-piece slider-type case.

Sigh. (sadly tosses one more case onto the growing pile of unloved cases on my dresser)

Case history so far:

Seidio: meh.

Seidio ActiveX: nice hand feel, but a major 5-minute pain to disassemble the phone when the battery dies after 4 hours, and makes it impossible to use the camera button without shaking the phone.

Aluminum Milano: would rock, if it were made from plastic. When it's closed, the phone is rock-solid, and you'd never even know the keyboard is there. Unfortunately, it's aluminum, and has a family tree that clearly began back when Sprint phones still had real antennas. Putting the phone in it instantly nukes at least one bar, makes bluetooth flaky, and renders the GPS unusable under most circumstances. Worse, the metal picks up stray cat hairs and screws up the touchscreen. As the final deathblow, it covers the top part of the touchscreen, so pulling down the window doesn't work. Totally and completely unusable.

Silicone case from this thread: I can't definitively say I hate it, but I'm still bummed out that it actually IS a 2-piece case. That said, it's nicer than I thought silicone-type cases would be and is fairly easy to remove, so I'll probably keep it on for a few days unless it seriously annoys me in some as-yet unforeseen way. However, the sides are totally unsecured, and I have a hunch my back pocket isn't going to be kind to it.

It'll be just my luck that someone will finally come out with a plastic Milano, or a one-piece silicone case, two weeks after I've already bought my next phone in October. :(
[Epic 4G Accessories] ranchosteve:
I hear ya brother, why not try one of those skins that protect the phone. I wanna get one but not sure which one.
[Epic 4G Accessories] NeonMonster:
This case is HORRIBLE.

Its a cheaply cut silicone 2 piece case. With a CHEAP FLIMSY plastic "rail" sliding groove. When I tried to put it on my phone, the plastic rail part broke, and rendered the case useless.

It doesnt fit well, is MUCH to large for the Epic, and feels like cheap silicone.

I returned it to the seller for the $5. Had to pay return shipping too.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Marlinsfan88:
Otterbox Commuter all day guys. best case ive found for this phone. adds a lil bulk to it but its tough and comes with a warranty from otterbox. 1 reccomendation tho if you do get the otterbox commuter series, there are 2 clips at the top, bottom and 2 on the left side of the top front piece. BRAKE THE 2 CLIPS THAT HOLD IT IN PLACE THAT ARE ON THE SIDE! It will still stay on your phone without a problem. I learned that those clips on the side will scratch your keyboard up a lil bit but not TOO horrible, they no longer have a glossy look, look more mat finish but luckily the lettering and FN symbol have not scratched off, i however am OCD about this stuff and learned the hard way but for as many times as i drop my phone, hands down best case on the market if your lookin for protection. it's smaller than the bodyglove, atleast to me it seems smaller, and for those of you who NEED to wear it on the side they do have a pouch thatll fit it. I manage a Cell Phone accessory cart in Florida so as an Epic user I'm always lookin and tryin new cases. if you guys have any question about accessories PM me =D
[Epic 4G Accessories] lafronz:
I can vouch for otterbox. I had the defender for my BB tour back in the day and it was amazing, to say the least. I dropped it from chest height (I am 6' 5") and it hit the cement and bounced. Zero damage to the phone itself and only a little scuff on the case. Otterbox is like having your phone inside an Abrams Tank.
